A NARROW ESCAPE.
Boston Barely w ms From Indian
apOlis-Other League Games.


apolis-Other League Games.
Boston, May 2O.-The Bostons came
very near being defeated to-day, partly
on account of the decisions of the UNI
pire, who was Missed by the spectators.
The game was characterized by some
brilliant plays on each side and also by
some glaring errors. Stemmyer was
very wild in his delivery at times, and
made O'Rourke work hard to save wild
pitches, and were it not for the plays of
Sutton and Morrill, the score would have
been vastly different. Wise and Bur-
dock were very unfortunate, each max
ing wild throw and fumbling hard-hit
grounders. Score:
Boston,. 3 O1 o o o O-S

MON BY The GIANTS.
NEW YORK, May 20.-The first game
between the Pittsburg and New York
clubs was won by the giants after we'll
played contest, and 5000 spectators en-
Joyed it all the way through. The story
can be told in few words. Mccormick
put the ball over the plate and was bat
ted freely. George could not send the
ball over the stone, and by his wild
pitching gave the visitors eight of the
nine runs they made. Mccormick and
Dalrymple, the old Chicago players,
were given a warm reception when they
appeared. The errors of Brown, Carroll
and Barkley were costly. Gillespie's
home run in the opening inning was
loudly applauded, and the squirt made
by the home players in that inning gave
them lead that the plucky uphill work
OF the visitors could not down. Score

EASY FOR DETROIT.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Detroit
team experienced no difficulty whatever
in defeating the Washingtons to-day
In the first three innings the visitors
batted Shaw hard, and, aided by Kreig' S
errors, secured nine runs. This big lead
detracted from the interest of the game,
and while there was some sharp field
ing, the game was uninteresting. After
the third inning Shaw pitched effectively
and the visitors were unable to score
another earned run. The home team
hit Baldwin freely throughout the game,
but their hits were made when two men
were out and otherwise badly scattered.
They saved themselves complete shut
out in the sixth inning By scoring one
run ON two singles and stolen bases. The
fielding of Donnelly, Dunlap and Far
rell were the features. Attendance

CHICAGO GETS THERE.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 20.-Phila-
delphia added another to its already
long list of defeats through poor field
ing to-day, Chicago scoring three runs
in the eighth inning after chances had
been offered to retire the side. The
champions felded in splendid style,
Pfeffer and Ryan particularly doing
good work. Daily, of the Chicagos,
made two home-runS by knocking the
ball over the fence at right center. Phil
adelphia scored three in the first inning
on two singles, triple and an error by
Pfeffer, and one in the third on two
singles and two outs. Chicago scored
in the first on hit by Ryan and errors
by Cusick, Mulvey and Mcclure. Daily
made a home-runsin the fourth. A muff
by CuSick, Daily's home-run, base on
balls and errors by Casey and Mcclure
